The date of the article is August last year, he has obviously revolutionized the industry as clearly the only product on the shelves are his these days..... (Insert sarcastic smiley :teasing-tease: )

Maybe, however I'm guessing, as I don't work directly with the industry, that the distillery industry is quite a traditional business model.
Probably boutique distilleries might be the first to adopt but $4000 a month for 2500 liters of finished liquor doesn't sound cheap. That's an extra $2 a liter almost. Maybe a saving over startup costs on warehousing barrels though.

Well people do pay a premium for older spirits, isnt johnny blue 20yrs or 25yrs old and that stuff goes for about $200 for 500ml.
Making a $73 litre of azeotrope and then the extra processing cost of $2 is still only $16.25 per 500ml bottle of 46%.
So if you then sell it for $150 thats still quite a nice profit.

+1 the inventor has his head screwed on offers a aging service rather than a technology, but I guess if it does really work then it's only a matter of time till detailed info on the process leakS.
